Pacific coast home features Accoya

Accoya wood, known for its durability and resistance to warping, was the ideal choice for a Pacific Ocean residence designed by Greg Coleman Architects. The project aimed to create a beautiful, long-lasting space for the homeowners to enjoy the stunning ocean views.

The architects used approximately 1,900 square feet of Accoya wood that was milled into 2×2 slats. The slats were installed as a privacy screen around the second floor decks and for the railing at the exterior stair for the ADU. Accoya wood’s stability and resistance to warping made it an ideal material for the 2×2 slats, as other cladding options, such as Ipe, would have been more challenging to work with.
